Create a user in the endian and give it a password
Create a openssh user certificate in a linux box
Give the private certificate to the user
copy the public certificate to the $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
Edit this file and put command that he can execute in the end
(ie: command="/sbin/reboot" ssh-rsa AAA....)
Edit the ssh config to require the certificate auth (recommended)
or disable the direct logons (change the logon shell to /bin/true)
when the user ssh to the machine with the certificate, he must
still enter the password to confirm the user and then the ssh
will execute only that command (ie: reboot)
for multiple commands, i think you need multiple certificates or
some other hacks (a secure parsing script maybe)
check this webpages for more info:

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
